Ch 4-Getting to Know One Another

The sun was just about to go over the horizon. The sky showed red and orange. Birds were starting to wake up for the next day. Professor X sat in the living room staring out the window. His mind was preoccupied with the dream he had last night. There seemed to be strong connection there and he couldn't explain why. He could sense that all of the students were starting to get up. Deciding to think about it later Xavier went into the kitchen.

"Nice hairdo," Raven said in her monotone voice. She was floating in front of the window meditating.

"Haha. Not all of us get up at the crack of dawn," Rogue said as she sat up in bed.

"You should hurry and get to the bathroom before someone else gets it."

Rogue groggily got up and went to the bathroom. The halls were still empty so there was no one in the bathroom yet. Taking a quick shower she toweled off then brushed her hair. After finishing getting ready, Rogue went back to her room to get dressed. When she arrived Raven was already dressed and meditating over her bed. The curtains were closed and a few candles were lit up around the room. Walking over to her closet she pulled out a red long sleeved shirt and boot cut jeans.

"Everyone is starting to get up," Raven said after a while.

"You want to head to the kitchen to get breakfast?" asked Rogue.

"Sure."

Heading downstairs they saw a few of the other residents were starting to head to the bathroom. Once they reached the kitchen Raven went to look for a teapot to make some tea while Rogue searched the cabinets for some tea bags.

"Looking for something?" Professor X asked when he came into the kitchen.

Both girls were startled when he made his appearance.

"We were going to make tea," Raven replied.

"Top left cabinet."

Rogue proceeded to look in the cabinet where the professor had suggested. She took out a small rectangular box labeled herbal tea. Raven had managed to find a teapot and set about pouring water in it and setting it on the stove.

"Would you like some tea too, professor?" Rogue asked.

"That would be nice, thank you," Professor replied politely.

Raven grabbed three cups and set them on the counter. As they waited for the tea to be ready they sat at the table making small talk.

"Everyone should be making their way down in a few minutes. I'm sure you two might have seen them at school," Professor said.

"What kind of powers do they have?" Rogue asked in her southern bell accent.

"Scott has laser beams, Kurt can teleport, Jean's an empathy, Kitty can move through objects, even has spikes, Richard can manipulate people's emotions, Kori can fly and shoot green beams, Garfield can change into any animal, Victor is a cyborg, Karen can shrink and fly, Terra can move earth, and Barbara can manipulate water."

"Wow," Raven replied astonished by the abilities of her new house mates.

"Ah, Scott and Richard are coming down now."

Just as he said that Scott and Richard walked into the kitchen. Scott was clothed in a red short sleeved, button up shirt, jeans, and sneakers while Richard wore a black short sleeved shirt, jeans, and sneakers. As they walked in they noticed the Professor and the two new girls from their school.

"Scoot, Richard, these are our new students. I'm sure you already know Raven and Rogue," Professor X introduced.

Richard and Scott were shocked to find out that the new girls were going to be their new teammates. Soon everyone else came and were equally as shocked as Richard and Scott.

"I'm sure you guys can get to know each other later, but right now you guys need to leave for school."

Everyone filed out of the kitchen towards the garage so they could car pool. Ororo came in and poured the girls tea into on-the-go cups and walked with them to the garage since she was driving them to school. The ride there was spent in silence with Rogue and Raven staring out the window. Once they arrived at school they went straight to class.

Once lunch came around Rouge and Raven sat under a tree. Raven had a cup of herbal tea and Rogue was drinking milk.

"Agh can't believe we've managed to move two times in just a few months," Rogue said.

"I know. We just have to make do with it," Raven replied.

Looking up they saw Scott and Richard walking towards them. It was strange that they were now living with them.

"Do you mind if we sit with you?" Scott asked.

"Free country. Do what you want," Rogue replied.

Scott took a seat next to Rogue while Richard sat by Raven. So far they were just staring at each other not knowing what to say.

"So…what kind of powers do you two have?" Scott asked.

They were in a secluded area and didn't have to worry about people overhearing them.

"Raven is an empath and Agh can absorb people's memories and other mutant's abilities," Rogue replied.

"Wow," Scott said.

They continued to talk throughout lunch.

"Is everything ok Chuck?" Logan asked as he came into the professor's study.

"I had a dream last night that has disturbed me," replied Xavier.

"What was it about?"

"My son."

"You still feeling guilty about that?"

"I think about what happened that day over and over. If I had come sooner…"

"You can't think like that. You did the best you could. Don't beat yourself up about it."

"I think the vision I had is a clue to try and find him."

"So you're planning on leavin."

"Yes, I'm leaving you and Ororo in charge until I get back."

"You sure you don't want anyone to go with you?"

"This is something I have to do on my own."
